    This would be perfect for the current problem of monetizing journalism. I am happy to pay a small fee to read an article. I am not ok subscribing to your entire website that requires an account when I get blasted with unsolicited emails and my data is sold to a 3rd party to pad your profits.

      You don’t really sound like someone who’d be happy to have a payment system hard-coded into their browser. I don’t think it would help, either. Just as with ads you’d be monetizing clickbait and not journalism.
